[Texascavers] Ibberson has died
For those few Texas cavers who may have known Dale Ibberson--a very active mover and shaker in the York Grotto, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and MAR caving scene in general, and the NSS for over 40 years--I'm sorry to have to report that he died a few days ago. The information I have is a bit sketchy so I can't supply any more details right now. Dale was a good friend of mine since the early '70s. He was an ardent speleo-historian. The walls of his house were lined with bookshelves filled not only with books but with all sorts of art related to caves and caving. He was a major figure in caving politics in the MAR for as long as he'd been caving. Dale was an excellent example of a caver dedicated to the sport. --Ediger - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com

Gil, Sorry to hear about Dale, he was a great caver from Pennsylvania and a mentor to many young cavers.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I can only remember a couple short cave trips with Dale, but there were many nights around the fire are various caver functions over the years. He was a good guy.
